Context sensitive help in Designer

rbuser

RB 15.01 Build 269, DXE4

Context sensitive help seems to work fine in the Delphi IDE, but I don't
seem to be able to get any help whatsoever in the RB Designer. Any
ideas/suggestions how to make that work?

Thanks!

Are you trying to view the help from the run-time designer? If so you
need to define the help file using the TppDesigner.HelpFile property and
defile which type of help file you are using by adding the proper file
to your uses clause. See the help topic for TppDesigner.EnableHelp for
more information.

The standard RB help file can be found in the \RBuilder\Help\... directory.

I was simply hoping to be able to call up a context-sensitive help topic
with the F1 key while working in the designer opened from the Delphi
IDE. That doesn't work for me, but no worries, I'll just open the help
file externally and search as necessary.

Thanks.

Which version of Delphi are you using? In my testing with RB 15.01 and
Delphi XE4, the F1 key is functioning correctly from the designer.

I'm using RB 15.01 b269 with DXE4 Update 1 on Windows 8 Pro x64. The F1
key has no effect nor does clicking the Help/Help Topics item from the
Designer menus.
